bot not responding on twitter

[vyomanaut]

i took your echo bot sample , added credentials to the appsettings json file from my twitter dev account .
Here's how the appsettings.json looks :

{
  "MicrosoftAppId": "",
  "MicrosoftAppPassword": "",
  "ScmType": "None",
  "TwitterOptions": {
    "WebhookUri": "https://proximabothh.azurewebsites.net//twitter/adapter",
    "AccessSecret": "",
    "AccessToken": "",
    "ConsumerKey": "",
    "ConsumerSecret": "",
    "Environment": "MrRocketFace",
    "Tier": "PremiumFree", // Available values [ "PremiumFree", "PremiumPaid", "Enterprise" ]
    "BotUsername": "MrRocketFace", // Configure your bot twitter screen name. This is used to detect messages originating from the bot to prevent recursion
    "AllowedUsernames": [] // If configured, the bot will only respond to these usernames. Leave empty to respond to everyone
  }
}

published the bot to my azure site using a publish profile i downloaded from azure .
the bot neither responds to DMs nor tweets .

what exactly am i doing wrong here ? i have not messed with your code except the appsettings .

does it take a few days for twitter to authenticate ?

i couldnt find help anywhere else on this issue .

Hi @vyomanaut,

Did you try to run this locally first by configuring an Ngrok Webhooks pointing back to you? Twitter Webhooks are configured right away, configuration happens when the NET Core host is starting, so all you have to do is wake up the deployed instance once by calling https://proximabothh.azurewebsites.net/ from a browser.
I strongly advice you to try and make it work first locally.

sure , thanks for the advice , will look into it .

Hi @tmarkovski , I did try using the Ngrok on my local host and it keeps working fine. But after deploying it to Azure I will not get a response again. I did get a response once then that is all. What could I be doing wrong (I did not change the webURI from the ngrok endpoint as it was said it will be changed automatically when deployed)
